Today\, there are many groups\, including climatologists and economists\, who have developed complex models and generally accepted pro fessional perspectives to help inform and persuade government policy maker s\, corporate strategists\, investment bankers and public opinion on appro priate actions and pathways to achieve desirable\, or least-bad outcomes. Generally accepted target dates for concrete and measurable outcomes to av oid catastrophic change are now 2030\, 2035 and 2050 or 8 years (416 weeks )\, 13 years (156 months) and 28 years (112 quarters) respectively.\n\nDo engineers have an important voice to bring to this issue\, a perspective t hat will help achieve the goals? In 2016\, the Canadian Academy of Enginee ring published the Trottier Energy Futures Report that took a comprehensiv e view of Canadian energy production and consumption\, identified pathways to achieve the Kyoto objectives\, and helped to shape the Canadian positi on at COP22 in Marakesh. Over the past three years\, the Academy and its p artners have examined various elements of the climate change challenge tho ugh seminars\, workshops and conferences.\n\nIn this presentation\, attent ion is paid to the engineering perspective\, its importance for Canada and how it can help shape policy and strategy going forward.\n\nSpeaker: Rob ert Crawhall\, [Canadian Academy of Engineering](https://www.cae-acg.ca/)\ nDate: Thursday\, May 5\, 2022\nTime: 12.00 pm - 1.00 pm (EDT)\nVenue: W ebEx\nMore information: [Event page](https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/306 922)\nContact person: Dale Tardiff <dale@innovativepower.ca>\n\n--------- ------------------------------------------------------\n\nIEEE Canada Tech nology Leadership Webinar Series: IEEE Canada is hosting a webinar series on Technology Leadership.
